Traffic accidents

Victims of road traffic accidents face a complex and intimidating administrative and legal process. They often feel isolated when faced with their medical, administrative and legal situation. They have to manage both their physical recovery and the legal aspects of their compensation.

Faced with this situation, victims may be confronted with insurers who seek to minimise compensation. The latter often offer quick out-of-court settlements, but at a disadvantage. Without the assistance of a personal injury lawyer, many victims accept compensation that is far less than they deserve.

In France, compensation for victims of road accidents is governed by the Badinter Law of 5 July 1985. This law guarantees full compensation for pedestrians, passengers and cyclists, with rare exceptions. For drivers, compensation depends on the degree of fault in the accident.

The compensation process generally involves insurance. This may be the driver’s or the third party’s insurance. It may also involve a compulsory insurance guarantee fund (FGAO). It also requires the setting up of an amicable or legal assessment during which the victim must be assisted and supported.

Accidents of this nature therefore involve numerous steps in order to obtain fair compensation. It is therefore essential to quickly involve a personal injury law firm such as LAETHEM LAUCOIN BOUR.
